GAF Energy has completed the construction of the company’s manufacturing facility in Georgetown, Texas.
Full operation is planned for the end of the year, when the facility will produce the Timberline Solar Energy Shingle, which is meant to integrate with traditional shingles. The new manufacturing facility is the company’s second and is set to increase its capacity by 500%, bringing total production of its solar shingle to 300 MW annually.
“We’re thrilled to be building the future of solar here in Georgetown. The community has welcomed us with open arms, confirming everything we thought when we made the decision to expand to Texas,” says Martin DeBono, GAF Energy’s president.
“We’ve begun hiring and already have dozens of people ready to make the best solar roofing on the market right here in Georgetown. We firmly believe that manufacturing in America speeds the innovation cycle and allows us to deliver the best product for our customers,” he adds.
The company began hiring earlier this year and has brought on more than 75 people in manufacturing, supply chain, logistics and other associated roles. At full capacity, GAF Energy plans to employ more than 240 people in Georgetown. The company’s first manufacturing facility, in San Jose, Calif., was completed in 2021.

I see.
There’s not enough land in Spain to support rooftop and ground-mounted solar at a fraction of the cost.
LOL.
It’s possible that right now, there are other civilizations observing the human race, studying us from afar, and noticing our decline into savagery and eventual extinction by turning billionaires into trillionaires.
People say that the principal weakness of human beings is that we can’t plan for the future as a species. Dogs are arguably even worse, though they aren’t consumed with greed. They don’t plot the starvation of millions of other dogs so they themselves can have enough food to last a billion years.
As an elderly man, I’ll be leaving this planet soon, but I won’t cease pondering this until my heart stops beating.
The drawing here reminds me of a conversation I had with my mother in the early days of 2GreenEnergy when she saw that my focus had become an ongoing effort to improve the wellbeing of all the planet’s inhabitants–now and into the future.
She asked me, “Why don’t you just live your life?”
I explained, “This is my life.”
